A Fresh Start - Programs

Yesterday, I had some time to install Windows XP on the new computer. Unfortunately, I had to waste three discs with different scene releases of customized XP versions. The first one rebooted everytime I tried to enter Windows, the second one missed a file so the installation aborted, and the third one had a CRC-error that aborted the installation.

After spending hours of downloading diffrent versions and wasting CDs, I finally got to borrow a good ol' copy of WinXP, without all the shady hacks to it. So now it's time to fill up the system with programs that's needed, and I felt the urge to compile a small list of the ones I always download fresh:

1. Mozilla Firefox
   
2. Winrar
3. Azureus - Bittorrent
4. mIRC
   NoNameScript
5. Media Player Classic
   Real Alternative
   QuickTime Alternative
   Nic's XviD Codec
   
6. VLC Player
7. ACDSee Classic
   
8. Winamp
   SIDPlay 2
   Oldsk00l MOD Player
   Nosefart NSF
9. Ventrilo 2.14
10. MSN Messenger
    

Then we got the usual Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Photoshop, Sony Vegas Video and Alcohol 120% and you got pretty much everything you'll need. And of course, you can't forget this little file if you're a FPS gamer:
